Typical steering symptoms owners report
- Owners describe a violent side-to-side shake of the steering wheel and front end, often called the "death wobble," triggered by hitting a pothole, bridge expansion joint, or rough pavement.
- The wobble typically starts at highway speeds above 30 to 60 mph and does not stop until the driver brakes hard or slows well below 30 mph.
- Some drivers report a sudden violent steering wheel jerk that felt like it was snatched from their hands, in one case ending with the truck leaving the road.
- Multiple owners say dealers replaced parts such as the traction bar, ball joint, and drag bar, along with tire balancing, without resolving the wobble.
- Several complaints note the shaking recurs repeatedly on the same stretches of highway regardless of new tires or brakes.
